Natus Vincere vs Team Falcons Predictions


Natus Vincere and Team Falcons are set to meet on Wednesday, September 25, in the opening round of Group A at BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024. It'll mark their first meeting since February, and according to the latest esports betting odds, NaVi should win.

The top Counter-Strike bookmakers have Natus Vincere priced as 1.17 favourites to defeat the Falcons, who are 4.80 underdogs. This is quite a big price difference, but considering Natus Vincere's recent success in Malta, it does not come off as a massive surprise.

  • Natus Vincere (#1) are higher-ranked than Team Falcons (#15)
  • The two teams have not met once since February
  • NaVi are in excellent form

Head to Head


Natus Vincere and Team Falcons last met in February, but not once since the roster changes.

Natus Vincere Form


Natus Vincere enter BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024 as the leading candidates to win the tournament. This comes as no surprise, considering they have recently won ESL Pro League Season 20, adding to their runner-up finish at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024 in August.

As the most in-form Counter-Strike team in the world, Natus Vincere deserve a lot of respect; however, there is one big question that needs answering – can NaVi keep their wheels spinning at BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024?

While unquestionably talented, Natus Vincere must be fatigued after two deep runs at the last two S-Tier events. But perhaps more importantly, they do not need to win BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024 to qualify for the World Final, as NaVi already received a direct invite by winning the Copenhagen Major.

No roster changes for Natus Vincere.

Team Falcons Form


Team Falcons are not in the best shape ahead of BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024. They have not won a single event this season besides BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2024, and they recently managed a rather poor 21st- 28th-place finish at ESL Pro League Season 20.

Prior to their trip to Malta, the Falcons also did not make it further than the top-eight at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2, which is hardly inspiring. And to make matters worse, the Falcons are 1-8 from their last nine outings.

Despite fielding a very talented roster, Team Falcons do not seem capable of competing at the highest level and their lack of success, even when faced with lower-tier Counter-Strike teams, is a reason enough to doubt them.

Verdict

Team Falcons are rightly priced as underdogs for this match. They're 1-8 from their last nine and have, over that stretch, won just one series against ATOX Esports but suffered bad losses against teams who are not as good as Natus Vincere.

Still, Falcons have potential, and are not a team to be ignored entirely. Moreover, Natus Vincere are fatigued, are known for slow starts to tournaments, and enter BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024 with questionable motivation, knowing they do not need to win the event to qualify for the BLAST Premier World Final.

We're getting 2.05 on Falcons to win a map, which is not a bad offer – even though expecting the underdogs to win is too optimistic.
